A borrower-facing view of a loan in progress, where the borrower can see their outstanding items, upload documents against requests, and track status without emailing the lender.
The longer version
A borrower portal turns the closing from something the borrower experiences as a void into something they can see. Instead of sending documents into email and waiting, the borrower logs into a view of their own deal: what is requested, what is received, what is waiting on the lender, and what is done.
For the lender, the portal is what removes the steady stream of any update? emails. When the borrower can see status directly, the question stops being asked, and the interruption of answering it disappears.
The portal is also where borrower experience becomes a deliberate part of the product rather than an afterthought. A borrower who felt in control of their closing is a borrower who comes back, which is why lenders increasingly treat the borrower-facing layer as a differentiator, not a convenience.
In Prodeal
Prodeal gives borrowers a branded, secure view of their deal where they upload against the request list and see live status, with no exposure to the lender's internal systems and no login friction that keeps them out.
